2018-06-27: Improved Reporting

This week’s release includes changes to our very popular reporting around Cloud Readiness andARC Disk Utilization. We have also made usability improvements to our “Edit Report” feature, andadded greater flexibility in sizing and pricing for AWS cloud.

Consolidated On-Prem and ARC Sizing pages

First, we want to inform you that we changed our terminology from “on-prem” to “Inventory” tobetter describe the source of the data rather than the type of environment scanned, mainly sinceusers can inventory resources in the cloud which are obviously not on-prem. Second, choosingbetween Inventory (formerly On-Prem) and ARC sizing has moved from menu options to aselector on the report pages under Cloud Readiness. Now you can simply choose from VM Sizing,VM Pricing, and Storage pricing and once in the report, you can use the “Sizing Options” dropdown to choose between Inventory and ARC as well as the Region. This has been changed forboth Azure and AWS sizing and pricing.

ARC\Windows & Linux\Disk Utilization

We changed the disk utilization report to consolidate Throughput and IOPs onto the same report with a selector to make it easy to change your reporting without having to traverse the menuSystem. Just choose Disk Utilization and choose Throughput or IOPs at the top of the report.

Edit Report Redesign

We have made usability improvements to the Edit Report dialog. First, we have added a new option to freeze the first column of the report. Simply click the slider to freeze or unfreeze the column. Moving any of the columns to the top spot will make that column the one frozen.

And clicking the Search icon will now bring up all available fields and you can continue to select and move columns as you have done before. Moreover, you can re-arrange columns in the table itself. Simply hold on a column header and drag it around.

Improvements for AWS Sizing and Pricing

Movere now supports all 13 pricing options (Commit Levels) when looking at AWS Cloud Readiness. In addition to On-Demand, there is support for different 1yr and 3yr commits reservedor convertible.

In addition, users can now add up to 3 additional columns to the report to compare different options side by side. Simply select the “Add Commit Comparison” button and then choose one ofthe pricing options available.

Movere updated comments for AWS Disk Profiling exceptions including type io1. When the storagesizing exceeds what is recommended, a comment will give important, additional details regarding the recommendation.

For AWS Cloud Readiness, Movere now includes Number of attached disks, IOPS and Throughputper VM type in our cloud sizing algorithm (in addition to CPU and RAM which were already beingused.)

Power User Tip

Wanting to move multiple items together when editing a report? In the Edit report dialog, doubleClick the hamburger (4 horizontal lines) for each field you want in the group, then Movere willmove that whole section as a group. The grouping is temporary and just to speed up moving setsof fields together.
